Welcome to the Official Web Site for the Blackfalds Soapbox Derby Association.

Was a success!!! Cold & Windy but the kids still had fun.

We had a small turn out this year but none the less the racers had fun.

We still need you:

The soapbox race does not happen by itself.  We need people to help us out.  We will be needing people to come on board for next year to help organize next year's soapbox.  If this is something you would be interested in please let us know.  We will let you know when our next meeting is so you can attend.  Remember, this is for the kids!!!!!!!  

Does anyone have any soapbox cars that they are looking at selling?  I have had some people contact me from the web site looking to buy a soapbox car.  If you have one let me know and I can post it on here for sale.

****I Need pictures from this years race.  Does anyone have any pictures that they would like me to post.  Email them to me at keltie@blackfaldssoapbox.com****

Race Pictures from

June 30, 2007

	The racers line up along the curb and wait to be lined up. Looks a bit something like "pit row" wouldn't you say!!
The racers need to try and stay in their own lanes as to not cut any other racers off.   This year we have chalk lines to get the racers started on the right track.
	For the racers safety we have straw bales set up along the race route to ensure the safety of the racers.  We also have St. John's Ambulance at the bottom of the hill to be there if need be. We also have Cst. Gary Smith with the Blackfalds detachment checking the speeds..
A whooping 46km/hr was top speed!!! Car # 150 Kyle Olfert

To the Blackfalds Octagon Group for running the concession once again!!

To ALL the volunteers that helped on the Top & Bottom of the hill  THANK YOU, THANK YOU. 

To those that were there early in the morning to help set up and that stayed after the races to help clean up THANK YOU.

A special thank you to those who came out even though the weather was't very cooperatitive.   Thank you very much for your committment!
